The Haunter of the Dark

By H. P. LOVECRAFT

A powerful story about an old church
in Providence, Rhode Island, that was
shunned and feared by all who knew it.

I have seen the dark universe yawning

Where the black planets roll without aim—

Where they roll in their horror unheeded,

Without knowledge or luster or name.
